We need a keeper and at least two midfielders in this window.

That's why I said anyone with any sense, you want to sign Allen who is almost 30, he's playing for a team that are in the relegation zone in the Championship and then you're advocating Fellaini who hasn't got pace as well. This team has had the same problem in midfield for the last few seasons and you want to keep the age and pace at the same level. Doesn't it occur to you that the dildo's aren't going to change the way they operate all of a sudden?
You and your echo are talking absolute sh*te constantly.

I hope Moyes is watching videos of Haller from last season on the coach back home. If we are going to survive this season then we really need to get more from him.

I posted during the match - why didn't Fornals start or at least come on earlier?

Noble was poor all game. I'm a fan of his but I can't think of one good thing that he did tonight. He was slow, hesitant and had many wayward passes.

Lanzini just isn't the same player as he was before his injury. He hit the free kick well to be fair.

Snodgrass made a massive impact when he came on, but it was too late. He was our only player capable of hitting a good delivery. Obviously involved in our two disallowed goals.

Anderson look better tonight than he has done for a long time. I hope his injury isn't serious.

I'm happy with the performance for where we are at the minute. That would have been 3-0 under Pellers. Barring the Martin f*** up, we looked fairly solid. We also had some great chances. All this while we were effectively 2 players down in Noble and Lanzini.

We lost the game because Lanzini, Anderson and Haller all fluffed their chances.

Moyes' job this season is to stop us being a soft touch and conceding 3's and 4's. He seems to have done that already.

Add to that the fact they have not been applying it consistently, and the fact they are using some guy in a room poring over TV footage in case of the slightest infringement and this game is totally f***ed this season.
To be fair, if it doesn't hit decs arm the ball goes wide, it takes time for Dec to get to it and the defence resets. Much more clear cut than the antonio one for me. Which seemed harsh as if his arm was back the chest might have done the job.

My favourite “tired Noble” moment was when he tried a sort of overhead kick from the edge of the centre circle out to Cresswell, which ended up on the centre spot.

A close second was not really doing anything and with the ball not under close control, and advancing to their box and their player just jogging back and taking it from him.

Rice was unlucky that his hand was up when the ball was headed against it by the Sheffield Utd player otherwise VAR may well have let the goal stand - but probably not .
Seen a few goals chalked off because of this including Man City so we're not the first and neither will we be the last to lose out to this ruling .

Don't think we'll go down with this Manager .

Egan kicked Haller early doors he should have got a card but didnt. T hat set the tone. Our fairies didnt want to know(I saw cresswell, anderson and lanzini pull out of 50/50s) and their boys got stuck in. Oh did I mention that I detest Oliver?

Moyes took far to long to make changes tonight. It didn’t work in the first half and leaving it with 20 minutes to go was too late.

We don’t have the players (at least for or in form) to be playing wingbacks.

Stop trying to put square pegs in round holes

All we are doing by hiring moyes is trying to put plasters over the leaks

Thought Rice was head an shoulders above everyone on the park tonight. Have we had any decision of VAR from an attacking point of view go in our favour this season? Ruined football for me.

Haller winds me up. I really think he can’t be ****ed.
Lanzini gets the ball from that slip and Haller can’t be bothered to work to get into the correct position. Nice ball comes in and Haller doesn’t work hard enough to get into a position where he can get a good connection. He instead pretty much puts in into the ground with his face. Good balls put through to him and he jogs around. Look at Mousset. Any similar ball and he’s giving 100% to chase it or get into the right position.

If Haller is who we are relying on we are in massive trouble.

The site was back to its worst during the game, even more so after they scored and we didn't. It's recovering now but if I had to come down on one side of useable or not, I'd have to say not.

You just know that it will be one against us and that it won't be overturned in spite of being obvious and deliberate.
